This book is in a word beautiful. It's hard to put into words but Matt Haig's writing stirs something moving deep inside. The view of us as humans through the eyes of alien is eye opening and very poetic.

I loved the premise of this story. So much writing is about us humans, writing about humans from this new perspective proved to be funny ane heartwarming. The protagonist observed things with a pair of eyes fresher than any other before, illustrating beauty and absurdity in equal measure. The progression of understanding was really fun to read, the whole book enjoyable.
A predictable but easily digestible endearing feel-good story that even turns out to be quite moving.
